Anique Radiant HeartInvoking The Goddess

The Great Remembering: testimonials

Priestesses from many lands and many temples gathered in Crete for the first International Priestess Convocation. These are their words, written afterwards to Anique.

I bow to you and I thank you for so much!!! Your radiant heart was open, embracing the full convocation and I felt its vibe and touch! You are such a role model of a wise high priestess and inspiration! Thank you for making this whole experience possible!

It felt like a dream for me… It was transformative indeed as it was real. And Goddess demands from me to evolve as a priestess and take some courageous steps from now onward. The convocation worked as a catalyst. It affirmed, healed, gave hope, united… it also shook, dissolved, demanded. It was love… in the presence of Goddess everywhere!

Hello Anique, thank you SO MUCH for a wonderful Convocation! I had a fantastic experience in all ways: the rituals were deep and meaningful, the healing temple, oracle temple and Sound Healing were insightful for me, the excursions to sacred sites were powerful, and I met many fabulous women and men who inspired me in many ways, especially YOU!!!

One of my favourite memories is going down to the beach with Judy from Australia to greet the dawn with a swim in the Sea of Crete to a cave. Wow! So wonderful!

I was also moved by the performances we saw there and am inspired to continue to do more Sacred Drama, Dance and Music of my own. (I write musicals… all my shows are about the Rise of the Motherworld.) Many blessings on your work and I’ll see you when you come to Gaia’s Temple in Seattle!

Hello Anique, I am so glad that your dream birthed the convocation into being, and that we had a chance to all meet with and hold ceremony together. It was amazing. I loved seeing the different temples bring their unique way of holding ceremonies alive in the convocation.

Thank you for holding such an important event and space for all of this to unfold. Your strength and willingness to show up and be there during each day of the convocation was incredible. I just hope that you were able to, and continue to, rest and recover, remember and dream anew.

I also loved the way we were able to enter into healing ceremonies and spaces together. We all hold so much in the world as we are bringing Goddess alive again that it’s easy to forget that we too need to stay in the healing and processing journey. Taking time to honour and hold each other was a pure gift of this convocation.

Thank you for welcoming me at the last minute to step in where needed. It was a pleasure and a privilege, and I look forward to seeing you again in 2024. Goddess bless your big heart Anique, blessings for your Motherline and gratitude for your presence.

We thank you from our hearts for this vision. We totally feel that the convocation is a new Herstory chapter for the Goddess into the Modern World. And we are very grateful that we were part of it. We will always be beside you to support this vision.

I cannot describe how deeply I appreciate you for bringing together all the incredible people who participated in the convocation, and for providing us all with the opportunity to share our sacred gifts with each other and the world beyond.

I am still journaling about the experience. So much deeply felt healing and deeply needed vulnerability opened up in me, which is now pouring over into my world here at home in Brooklyn, New York. And thank you for being my dance partner at the Priestess Gala!!! You made my night!!

Thank you very much for creating everything so the vision of the Convocation could come true! And yes, it unfolded in a truly gorgeous way! Enjoyed and loved as it was: the ceremonies together, the sharings in between programmes, all our excursions… and the whole event!

I am grateful and looking forward to our next convocation in 2024! Good health and strength to you, and all the best that could possibly flow from Goddess on you!

Thank you, Anique. It really was an amazing experience, one that I am most happy I could participate in. The Goddess was WITH US so strong!!! It was beautiful. Many thanks for all your work.
